Incandescent light are the only type of light that has a filament. The filament is the the little piece of wire that glows where the electricity passes through it. All other lights are gas filled. Most motion detectors need to pass a small amount of electricity through the filament to work. The motion detector uses the filament as a neutral wire. The time lag to get a florescent bulb to light up would create too much delay and negate the use of the motion detector. The filament will light up very quickly.
Security lights work by using motion sensors to turn on when movement is detected. This acts as a deterrent to potential intruders.
Outdoor motion sensors allow a greater degree of home security. Motion sensors can be installed that can turn on outside lights when movement is sensed, or begin recording from a closed circuit camera.

Motion sensors and surveillance cameras are used in basic security surveillance.
Either the sensor is not working properly or you have enough motion such as trees swaying, etc. to cause the sensors to constantly activate the lights.
Usually motion sensors are installed in schools and offices in order to automatically turn on and off the lights. If nobody is in the room (no motion), the light will automatically turn off to save electricity.
Security systems have many options. These can include sensors that will alert if a window or door is opened. Motion sensors are also useful if they are aimed towards the door or window.
It is often recommended and preferred to have motion activated security lighting. It will startle a criminal and it is bright. Another advantage to having motion activated lights is that you and your neighbors will notice when lights suddenly come on so you can react quickly to any possible intrusion.
The equipment and materials required to make your own motion sensor far exceeds the cost of purchasing one off the shelf.
There are more advantages than disadvantages to using a motion sensor light outside of your home. The biggest disadvantage is that the light will come on if an animal walks past it. Some of the advantages include knowing when someone is walking around your house and the light coming on for you when you get home and it is dark outside.
